PLAN COMPENSATION Clause Samples
The PLAN COMPENSATION clause defines how and when compensation will be provided under a specific plan, such as an employee benefit or incentive program. It typically outlines the types of compensation included (such as salary, bonuses, or stock options), eligibility criteria, and the timing or conditions for payment. This clause ensures that all parties understand the structure and rules governing compensation, thereby reducing misunderstandings and disputes regarding payment entitlements.

PLAN COMPENSATION. (a) General Definition. A participant's plan compensation for a plan year means compensation as that term is defined in Section 13.1(b) of the Plan, as modified in the adoption agreement. Solely for purposes of determining the amount of a participant's 401(k) savings contributions, after-tax savings contributions and their related matching contributions, plan compensation shall include employer contributions made pursuant to a salary reduction agreement or other arrangement which are not includible in the gross income of the participant under Code Sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B) or 403(b). Compensation shall include only that compensation which is actually paid to the participant during the determination period. Except as provided elsewhere in the Plan, the determination period shall be the period elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement. If the Employer makes no election, the determination period shall be the Plan Year. For a self-employed individual, plan compensation means his earned income. Except as otherwise provided in this section, if elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, Compensation shall include any amount which is contributed by the Employer pursuant to a salary reduction agreement or other arrangement and which is not includible in the gross income of the Employee under sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B), or 403(b) of the Code. For purposes of this subsection, earned income means net earnings from self employment in the trade or business with respect to which the plan is established, for which the personal services of the individual are a material income producing factor. Net earnings will be determined without regard to items excluded from gross income and the deductions allocable to such items. Net earnings are reduced by contributions by the employer to a qualified plan to the extent deductible under Code Section 404. Net earnings shall be determined with regard to the deduction allowed to the taxpayer by Code Section 164(f) for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1989. For years beginning on or after January 1, 1989, and before January 1, 1994, the annual compensation of each participant taken into account for determining all benefits provided under the plan for any year shall not exceed $200,000. This limitation shall be adjusted by the Secretary at the same time and in the same manner as under section 415(d) of the Code, except that the dollar increase in effect on January 1 of any calendar year is e...
